Things I wanted to get done this summer sort of got pushed to the side in order to get things done for the Picnic with a Judge and I’m ok with that. I dohave a bunch of things I want to get accomplished for the fall though.

(*For the purposes of this list, Fall will go from now til Thanksgiving/First week of December where in my mind, winter actually starts. Don’t bother arguing, it’ my blog, I get to set the rules. This gives me about 90 days to get all of this accomplished.)

To make things easier and satisfy my slight OCD, I’ve grouped what I want to do accordingly.

Crafting:

Jump start on holiday crocheting with ideally 80% of the list taken care of before Thanksgiving

Design and get materials together for holiday cards. I’m thinking this is fun although a little ambitious. I need about 100 cards but they shouldn’t be Christmas per say. I’m thinking New Year’s are good. I’ll figure something out.

Design recipe art to give to family and friends and other digitally inspired art as appropriate.

Repurpose Mehmere’s jewelry.

Finish the design for my next tattoo

Fitness/Weight Loss

Lose 10 more pounds (plus the 3ish I gained back) – This might be slightly ambitious, but I’ll try!)

Run 2-4 times a week

Swim 2-4 times a week

Get back up to running 3.1 miles and 1800 yards in the pool. Do it comfortably.

Box up clothes that are too big

Home/Baking/Cooking:

Use crock pot twice a month or more

Pick out cookie recipes for holiday baking

Go through closets and drawers

Deep clean the apartment

Make more soups. I miss soups.

Friends & Family

Find a place for Apple Picking (if we can, the weather messed this up royally) if we can’t do this, then some other sort of fun outside fall thing to do not involving hay.

My idea was the Headless Horseman Haunted Hayride and Houses (H5). Love it there – and I need to turn it from a sad “remember what I had” memory to a new, fun, happy memory.

But the hayride is on an actualy hay truck with hay everywhere, and it lasts for at least 30 minutes. Then you go through a house, a cornfield, another house, some more cornfield, and then two free-standing houses.

It’s not cheap, and I would not want you to pay for the privlege of getting sick.

Wow. You are WAY more ambitious than I am. I hope to finish unpacking before I have to repack and move away – again. I’m waiting for a weekend when I am home the whole time – maybe mid-October? By then, I could be repacking.

I'm around the internet a lot less these days. I guess I've reached the point where I want actual human interaction with people in front of me and not via a screen if I can help it and that I wanted to experience more of the moments for me, not just to document them for others.

I still make stuff. I sometimes still blog. I'm still usually doing something ridiculous. I think I'm funny, but sometimes people don't agree. I've been reading a lot more.

or in haiku form:

used to be here more,
realized want to live, to live
not just for writing
